Black Browed Albatross ?
It certainly sounds like it may be a first for the East ... but I don't think it
is a first for all of North America. I could be wrong but it seems to me I have
heard and read stories about Black-broweds on the West Coast.
=============================================
I just heard that the Black-browed Albatross was the first documented North
American sighting ever. Exciting!! Anybody have more details on this bird,
previous (undocumented) reports, etc?
